Catching the Smile

“The Masonic Fishing Charity’s aim is to bring an interactive fishing and countryside
experience to people with special needs”.

It achieves this by running fishing events, both coarse and fly, at various fisheries and inviting
participants from special needs schools and centres and people who have suffered trauma to come and join
in.

This is far more than just a days fishing though! It enables mentally disabled people to gain in
confidence,
meet new challenges and achieve tangible results to take away; it helps disadvantaged people and those
from
harsh backgrounds to renew their confidence in meeting people and interacting with adults from outside
their
spheres; it helps physically disabled people (including war heroes and stroke victims) to participate
and
experience something that may otherwise be unavailable to them and it enables our volunteers to give
back to
the community and have some fun along the way.

The charity is completely run by volunteers and is a non profit making enterprise.

Whilst we are the Masonic Fishing Charity you do not have to be a freemason to help us or take part in
our activities.
